Tennis Court Construction in Smyrna, GA

A full size backyard tennis court generally needs a cleared, relatively level area of about 60 by 120 feet to comfortably fit the playing surface along with safe run off space around the lines. Many Smyrna lots, especially in older established neighborhoods closer to the city center, were not originally platted with this kind of space in mind, so our team evaluates each property individually before recommending a layout.

Where a full court will not fit, we often discuss modified dimensions, multi sport layouts, or combination tennis and pickleball courts that make better use of the available footprint. Smyrna's mix of mature tree cover, sloped lots, and Georgia red clay soil also factors into site planning, since grading and drainage need to be addressed properly before any surface goes down.

Cobb County's red clay soil holds water differently than sandy or loamy soil, which affects how a court base is prepared and how drainage is designed around the perimeter. Combined with Georgia's heavy spring and summer rainfall and the freeze thaw cycles that occur most winters, a court built without proper excavation and base work can develop cracking or surface issues over time.

Smyrna properties range from compact lots in older neighborhoods to larger parcels in newer developments, and many homes sit on gently to moderately sloped terrain. Before construction begins, we assess grading, tree root systems, existing drainage patterns, and access for equipment, since these details directly influence the court's long term performance and the construction approach we recommend.

Want to combine games on one slab? Our multi sport court layouts add pickleball lines to a tennis surface.

Standard tennis courts measure 78 feet long, with widths of 27 feet for singles and 36 feet for doubles play, plus additional clear space beyond the lines for safe movement. We lay out courts to these dimensions whenever a property allows, and we also design modified or multi sport layouts when space, budget, or household needs call for something different.

Many Smyrna clients are interested in multi sport courts that combine tennis with pickleball, allowing more people to use the same footprint throughout the week. We can plan a court with permanent tennis lines and painted or taped pickleball lines, or design a layout specifically intended for easy conversion between the two sports as family or community needs change.

Have an older slab that just needs new color and lines? Ask about tennis court resurfacing, or play with colors first in the 3D court builder.

Most Smyrna courts are built with either post tension concrete or asphalt as the base, finished with an acrylic surface system that can be standard or cushioned for additional comfort underfoot. Cushioned acrylic systems are popular with homeowners who want a softer feel for joints, while standard acrylic offers a firmer, faster playing surface.

Color schemes typically use two or three complementary tones to define the playing area and surrounding apron, and we can match or coordinate colors with a home's exterior or an HOA's existing amenities. Line packages can include standard tennis lines alone, or tennis lines combined with pickleball lines for a true multi sport court, all professionally measured and applied for consistent play.

Our crews also build tennis courts in Marietta for neighbors nearby.

Beyond backyard projects, Peachtree Pickleball Courts works with HOAs, swim and tennis clubs, schools, and other organizations throughout Smyrna and nearby Cobb County communities that want to build new courts or restore aging ones. Shared courts see heavier use than a private backyard court, so base preparation, surfacing durability, and fencing all need to be planned with that higher volume in mind.

For existing community courts, we also handle resurfacing, crack repair, and restriping, along with adding pickleball lines to convert underused tennis courts into multi sport amenities. This is a practical option for HOAs looking to increase participation and get more value from an existing court without a full rebuild.

The process begins with a site visit and consultation to evaluate the property, discuss goals, and review layout options, and clients can also use our online 3D court builder to start visualizing colors, lines, and dimensions ahead of time. From there, we finalize a plan that accounts for grading, drainage, base material, and surfacing before any construction begins.

Construction itself moves through site preparation and excavation, base installation using concrete or asphalt, surfacing application, and finally line painting along with any fencing, net post, windscreen, or lighting elements included in the plan. We stay involved through each phase so Smyrna clients have a clear understanding of how their court is coming together.
